OpenStudio is a suite of free and open source software applications for building energy analysis used in building information modeling.〔(OpenStudio project ), GitHub〕 OpenStudio applications run on Microsoft Windows, Macintosh, and Linux platforms.〔(OpenStudio Homepage )〕〔(Legacy OpenStudio Plug-in for SketchUp ), EnergyPlus Simulation Software, US Department of Energy〕 Its primary application is a plugin for SketchUp, that enables engineers to view and edit 3D models for EnergyPlus simulation software.〔〔(OpenStudio Application Suite ), EnergyPlus Simulation Software, US Department of Energy〕〔(OpenStudio Training ), PSD Consulting〕〔(Green Building's Open-Source Push ), Bloomberg Business〕〔(NREL Software Could Cut Commercial Building Energy Audit Costs 75% ), CleanTechnica〕〔(Google SketchUp 'plug-in' offers energy analysis ), Cnet〕〔(National Renewable Energy Laboratory Offers Free Energy Conservation Software for Buildings ), CleanTechnica〕〔(ASHRAE, DOE Update Green Building Guides, Software ), EnvironmentalLeader〕 OpenStudio was first released in April 2008 by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, a part of the U.S. Department of Energy.〔〔(Free software for energy-efficient building design ), ConstructionWeekOnline.com〕 NREL reports an average of 700 OpenStudio downloads per month.〔 Google's strategist for SketchUp, remarked that "OpenStudio is lauded around our office as one of the most complicated plug-ins ever written for SketchUp".〔 OpenStudio was designed to work with SketchUp, because many architects already use SketchUp for building designs. The integration allows architects to analyze a design's energy performance before beginning construction.〔(Construction Corner: Computer-powered construction evolves ), TECHNOLOGY, DailyCommercialNews〕 The first private organization selected by NREL to conduct OpenStudio courses was ''Performance Systems Development'', a New York-based training institute.〔(NREL Selects Performance Systems Development to Deliver OpenStudio Trainings ), PRWeb〕 Courses will be conducted for building professionals, software developers, and utility administrators.〔 ==Features== OpenStudio includes a Sketchup Plug-in and other associated applications: *The Sketchup Plug-in allows users to create 3D geometry needed for EnergyPlus using the existing drawing tools. *''RunManager'' manages simulations and workflows and gives users access to the output files through a graphical interface. *''ResultsViewer'' enables browsing, plotting, and comparing EnergyPlus output data, especially time series.〔(OpenStudio ResultsViewer ), EnergyPlus Simulation Software, US Department of Energy〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「OpenStudio」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
